The Great Little Trains of Wales is based on themes written for a 1984 Welsh-language television series called Crwydro'r Cledrau (Wandering the Rails). Far from being a mere succession of disconnected tunes, however, it is a coherent, but abundantly melodic, symphonic structure that owes much of its inspiration to our own feelings about the landscapes through which the little trains travel.

Nostalgia and the present play equal parts in the forming of this unashamedly romantic piece. Thus Snowdon re-visits a slightly idealised North Wales, but also evokes some of the mood of the South Wales Valleys. Cable Car Waltz conjures up the opulent Victorian promenades of both Llandudno (home of the "Great Orme" cable car) and Aberystwyth. Devil's Bridge takes one of the gentlest journeys (along the Mid-Wales Rheidol Valley) as the starting point for a general depiction of all the lush, green corners of Wales, in contrast to its mountains. And Ffestiniog, partly through a chance similarity to words like 'festive' and 'festal', is simply a celebration of embarking on the best holiday you might ever have had, on a train that is never late, never breaks down, and at a certain point leaves the care-worn earth far behind, chasing the east wind westward.

Although the technology used to make these 'mock-ups' has improved enormously since we produced this recording in 1989, Cable Car Waltz was, never-the-less, broadcast on Radio 3. We hope that these recordings will give a reasonable impression of the real thing.

So, I decided to make this just for the hell of it, also because I thought that this theme sounded sort of like one of Hartshorne's themes. So, I rearranged it to sound more similar to a Hartshorne theme.

Feel free to use, just make sure to credit me.

Original theme composed by Pedro Silva.

Mavis' Theme (S1 Remix)

Well, here's something different.

This is something I've always wanted to make but was never satisfied with my previous attempts at it as I wasn't all that good at music making the last times I've tried and have learned a lot since then; a theme for my main Thomas OC, Benjamin. ^^ (Yeah, he's named after me. Sorta a product of the older "trainsona" days but has pretty much mostly evolved beyond that over the years while still retaining the name.) For those who've been around this account long enough, you may remember some of the older uploads of my attempts at a theme for him lol Been working on and off this thing for a long time now, frequently adjusting things in it as I continued to improve my music over the last year. However, I finally got around to finishing it yesterday and I'm honestly extremely pleased with how it all turned out. I should also mention that the overall theme is heavily based on the motif of a childhood film's soundtrack that I love very much and always wanted to incorporate into his theme, even back during the first few attempts, with the exception of some parts. Particularly the second half of the "bridge" section, which I threw together to fill a gap. So, I guess you could say it's partially an original theme lol. Oh well, quite a few other themes in Thomas fall into the same category and regardless, I'm still very happy with it. Hope you all enjoy and have a great summer too! :)

Please do not use this theme in your projects. Thank you.
